Crown Jewels

Chapter 206 The Orb's Compromise

She quickly lifted up the hem of her skirt, opened the curtain and sat in the carriage, a steady voice came out.

"Two ingots of silver, I'm going to the Huangu Academy in the southern suburbs..."

The halo of the setting sun sprinkled on the girl's skirt, making her back look a little lonely and desolate for no reason.

Gu Baozhu stepped on the ground, and after passing the bumps of the carriage on the official road, her emotions had been properly dealt with. When she returned to the Ancient Academy, she trimmed her hair on the sideburns, and hid her blood-stained hand, which was pierced by the wall of the secret passage, in the After cuffing her cuffs, she came to the stables of the academy, glanced at the tall bay red horse, paused for a moment, and then directly chose the tall white horse that had made her suffer in the past.

The white horse was rebellious, Gu Baozhu firmly grasped the rein in his hand, turned it around his arm twice, and then stepped on the stirrup and turned on the horse. The setting sun was shining on the wide horse field. The woman's back was straight, rising and falling with the figure of the white horse galloping. Her back is resolute and sassy.

The sound of horseshoes sounded, and Huyan Uwei raised his head casually. When he saw the woman whipping wildly on the racecourse, his eagle eyes shrank slightly, and his footsteps stopped on the spot, but he suddenly walked into the racecourse half a moment later, stopped at the center where the woman could see, with his arms folded, His eyes followed the horses and the horses never moved away.

Falcon's eyes cannot be ignored, but Gu Baozhu on the horse didn't pay attention to it, swiped his whip and sweated three times on the racecourse, finally got off the horse, but as if he didn't see Huyan Uwei, he directly led Holding the reins of the white horse, he was about to walk towards the stables.

Being completely ignored by Gu Baozhu, the man with the braids made the eagle-eyed micro-mind, seeing that the woman's figure was about to completely disappear under the setting sun, he finally lost his composure and strode forward with tall, strong Standing directly in front of Gu Baozhu, his tone was cold and mocking.

"I'm afraid the princess doesn't know!"

"Today, the Ministry of War, the person you have placed high hopes on, performed abnormally on the spot, but there is no way to bring back a martial arts champion for the princess."

As Huyan Wuwei said, his eyes were full of sarcasm, even he never thought that in his previous life, Song Yan, who was born as a champion of martial arts, in this life, before he had time to make trouble, he would actually be in the martial arts examination room by himself collapsed.

These words came to his ears, Gu Baozhu's eyes flashed coldly, and he was about to leave but was stopped by him again.

"Gu Baozhu—"

Seeing her unwavering gaze, Huyan Uwei's cheeks finally puffed up, his eagle eyes stared a little intently, and the corner of his right lip twitched.

"A few days ago, I also showed you the account book, the princess has thought about it?"

"Uwe is still the same. How to choose the princess is up to me, but my patience is also limited. If you agree to get married, I will ask the empress for orders in the name of Turks on the empress's birthday in three days!"

After Huyan Uwei finished speaking, Gu Baozhu's gaze was still so indifferent that it made him jump. The man's cold snort sounded, as if he had no patience in the end, he suddenly raised Gu Baozhu's jaw and threatened softly.

"You have to think about it, Uwe is not as patient as the Princess thought!"

"Tomorrow! I want an answer. If the princess really doesn't want your father's reputation and life, then Uwe doesn't bother to worry about it. How about choosing a suitable time to let this account book fall into the hands of Yan Guo Yushi?" ?”

The autumn wind blew up the fallen leaves on the ground, and there was a woman's chuckle, obviously her collarbone and throat were trembling, but Huyan Uwei felt that the smile looked ethereal, with a mockery of nothingness.

"tomorrow?"

"Why wait until tomorrow?"

Huyan Wuwei was stunned by the woman's words, his eagle eyes were full of inquiry, but he met Gu Baozhu's suave and determined gaze.

"Today! I want this account book today."

"As for begging for marriage, on your grand birthday in three days, you can ask the Empress—"

Huyan Uwei's eagle eyes narrowed slightly, and his tone was somewhat suspicious. When he really heard what she agreed, it turned out to be a bit ethereal and unreal, and he subconsciously wanted to doubt it.

"You agree to marry me?"

Facing Huyan Uwei's suspicion, Gu Baozhu couldn't hide his sarcasm, and said in a calm and firm tone.

"I agree to trade with you, but I have a condition, otherwise, an interview with the marriage?"

Gu Baozhu's lips were stretched, and there was a bit of stubbornness in his brows and eyes, as if he was sticking to the final bottom line, but in the eyes of Huyan Uwei, the trembling eyelashes seemed unwilling to grasp the last straw, and wanted to try to resist. .

But what's the use of that?
Sooner or later, she will be eaten by myself sooner or later!

"tell me the story--"

Huyan Uwei licked his lips, and the eagle's eyes showed surprise, no wonder he agreed so easily, there were still conditions waiting for him later.

Too lazy to guess Huyan Uwei's thoughts, Gu Baozhu's tone was rather light, and he said straight to the point.

"Since the firecracker business can be done with you Turks, there should be many Xia Kingdoms who are now fighting against Yan. In addition to your Turks' account books, I want you to help me investigate—"

Gu Baozhu's tone paused slightly, and he struggled to say the words 'my father and king'.

"Help me investigate whether 'My King Father' has also sold firecrackers with Xia Guo, and find a way to help me obtain evidence related to Yan Guo."

Huyan Uwei's eyes narrowed slightly, and the eagle's eyes were full of disbelief, and the intertwined dark lights in his eyes were somewhat complicated. He never thought that she would be so keen, and could guess the relationship between Prince Gong and Xia Guo.

Seeing Huyan Wuwei's expression in his eyes, Gu Baozhu knew that she might be right about Xia Guo's conjecture. Apart from Turkic, that person had the same secret activities as Xia Guo in the northwest border, and he even went against her father The reputation of the king, to do such a thing that humiliates the country.

The last words almost came out of Gu Baozhu's throat without any backing down. She met Huyan Uwei's eyes directly. A pause.

"otherwise--"

"Why do I think that with your Turkic account books alone, I can keep my father and queen half of their lives safe?"

When the two looked at each other, there was a turbulent wave, neither of them gave in. The soft setting sun hit the two of them, which was different from their tense momentum. The orange light immediately illuminated the two people's gaze softly and intimately.

The footsteps of boots stomping on the ground sounded, and this dazzling scene was watched by the uninvited guest.

The movement from the racecourse broke the stalemate between Gu Baozhu and Huyan Wuwei. Gu Baozhu turned around subconsciously, but met the young man's stern eyes with a heart-wrenching brokenness.

Song Yan didn't stop, and lost in the martial field of the Ministry of War. Although he was sadly disappointed, after accepting this result, the only person he wanted to explain to was Gu Baozhu besides himself.

After the martial arts examination ended, Song Yan didn't return to Xuanyifang. He rushed back to the academy directly from Lin'an City. Even though he felt ashamed, he still wanted to tell her that if he couldn't become the champion of martial arts, he would not give up joining the army, and he couldn't pass the imperial examination. Chunfeng proudly made a face for her, so he went to the army to settle down, using every soldier killed on the battlefield to fight for a bloody path.Sooner or later, sooner or later, he will use his military exploits to earn a meritorious service and give her all the respectability.

Song Yan lowered his eyes, the scene in front of him made his eyes dry, the young man pressed his left cheek fiercely with the tip of his tongue, after a while, he raised his head and smiled at her indifferently, stretched his bloodshot eyelids with all his strength, and comforted her He nodded and stretched out his right hand, but his voice was not as clear as in the past, with a broken feeling like gravel, as if he had exhausted all his strength.

"Orb—"

"come over--"
